New In JSTOR: Revue de Qumrân

Revue de Qumrân was founded by Jean
Carmignac in 1958. It is an International leading journal dedicated to
the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the significance of these
manuscripts for our understanding of the Ancient Near East in the
Hellenistic and Roman period. Whether it concerns ancient Jewish or
Christian litterature, history, archaeology or epigraphy.

Since 1958, generally recognized to be indispensable for scholarly work on the Dead Sea Scrolls;

Revue de Qumran is distinguished, with Dead Sea Discoveries, as the most specific journal in the field;

Double-blind peer review;

Articles of interest in English, French, German, italian or Spanish are welcome;

Detailed book review section dedicated to the Dead Sea Scrolls and cognate literature in every issue;

The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.

The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.

AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
